Currently, New Hampshire has a relatively low unemployment rate; averaging about 2.4% for an eleven-month period ranging from January-November of 2018. This is below the national average of 3.7%. The counties served by RVCC are slightly below even the NH average with Sullivan County (Claremont) averaging 2.2%; Grafton county (LAC) averaging 2.1%; and Cheshire County (KAC) only slightly above the state average at 2.6%. These percentages average approximately 1000 unemployed people in each of the Academic Center Locations (Keene and Lebanon) and only approximately 525 unemployed people in Claremont. (NH Economic Security, Economic, and Labor Market Information Bureau, “2018 NH Local Area Unemployment Statistics”). This low level of unemployment in the counties served by RVCC, while good for the economy, has a negative impact on enrollment trends. The close alignment between RVCC’s mission statement and CCSNH’s mission statement ensures that our mission enjoys the support of the CCSNH Board of Trustees. Though consistent with the system mission, the College’s mission still reflects the unique influences of our community and region as well as our institutional history and culture. Our mission statement has provided a touchstone for the development and delivery of our academic programs, community outreach, and services, and is consistent with the following initiatives in the College’s 2018-2021 Strategic Plan: Financial Stewardship Student Success Teaching & Learning Excellence Operational & Technological Efficiency Community, Business & Industry Partnerships Faculty & Staff Development Appraisal of Mission & Purposes: The mission of student success provides a sense of unity and purpose for everyone on campus. Faculty and staff have stayed true to the mission throughout administrative turnover, and the commitment of faculty and staff to the students is one of the reasons that RVCC has weathered the transitions so well. Respecting past traditions is an important value on campus, and it is important to recognize the ongoing commitment to student success as the College plans for the future. Fully realizing our mission of accessibility, quality and affordable education, and personal approaches to lifelong learning requires our outreach to, and development of, a variety of academic supports and programming. In one such endeavor, RVCC reaches out in partnerships to local High Schools and Centers of Technical Education in programs such as Running Start, our dual enrollment program which offers high school students the chance to earn college credits at their high school for a reduced tuition rate. College credits can also be earned through our Bridge2College program, which affords high school students the opportunity to earn college credit by taking courses at the College at a reduced rate. 10 | P a g e
Through our workforce development office, RVCC offers many educational and training opportunities to various businesses and industries in our catchment area such as the following: Working with our medical partners to provide training in medical terminology, computer applications, and customer service. Working with our manufacturing partners in providing over 100 on-line personal development and information technology programs to allow workers to access these programs and work at their own pace. Collaborating with the American Red Cross to provide space and materials to train Licensed Nursing Assistants (LNAs). Providing practitioners in their chosen field, Continuing Education Units (CEUs) As part of the partnership between CCSNH, the NH Department of Resources and Economic Development, and the NH Department of Employment Security, we also host WorkReadyNH, a tuition-free workforce development program targeted towards un/ underemployed residents. Those who successfully complete the program receive a nationally recognized certificate to provide to prospective employers. RVCC strives to provide all of its students with the academic supports needed to ensure their success. To integrate academic support and services into one location (beginning in Claremont), the Student Success Center was relocated adjacent to the Library and Library Computer Lab. This area offers a variety of opportunities for students needing to build or strengthen basic academic skills. While Keene does not have a dedicated space like Claremont and Lebanon, there are private spaces for students to meet with tutors and do computer work. All students can access the Library’s electronic catalog via their Easy Log- In credentials although the majority of the physical collection is housed in Claremont. To improve persistence and graduation rates, the Mathematics department restructured their course offerings to implement a co-requisite lab/ gateway course model for students who wish to enroll in Statistics I, Functions and Modeling I, and Mathematical Investigations. River Valley sees itself as a partner with the Claremont, Keene, and Lebanon communities as evidenced by community involvement with the College, and College involvement with the communities. Examples include: Participation of community members from each region (Claremont, Keene, and Lebanon) on the 2017 Presidential Search Committee; Community food donations to students of the College while the cafeteria was closed during its transition to a Micro-Market; College charity drives for local food and animal shelters; College employee participation in local fundraising efforts such as “Steppin’ Up to end Violence 5K,” a local 5K road race to assist the Turning Points Network in raising money for their fight against domestic and sexual violence in the region. The College’s new strategic plan (2018-2021) clearly outlines RVCC’s commitment to the mission for the institution as a whole. Objectives in the strategic plan such as Strategic 11 | P a g e
